[opensuse] strange new issue - sftp suddenly required mount options: nodev and nosuid
All, openSUSE 13.2, not fully patched, but not too many weeks since I did a zypper up. Kernel: 3.16.7-35-desktop === When I tested the SFTP connection it failed. I got errors in /var/log/warn that the volume required "nodev" and "nosuid" mount options for sftp to work. I had made ZERO changes to /etc/fstab recently and I've used that sftp server for at least 2 of my clients in the last week. Why did my working setup suddenly start failing? Did I have a security hole before that is now fixed? FYI: I've added those to mount options to fstab and it works again now. === details that I assume triggered this somehow I was doing some maintenance on my sftp server. I have a dedicated mount point at /srv/sftp where I have various individual users sftp only directories. I don't let them have sh access, only sftp. Apparently that mount point became corrupt over time. I ran fsck on it (manually) today. It had a lot of reported issues, and then a empty filesystem was all I had left. Not a big deal in this case, and I'd had a hardware issue that may have caused the corruption. I wasn't overly concerned and there was nothing of real value in that volume anyway. I recreated a couple of key user directories. When I tested the SFTP connection it failed.
